It helps to at least mention what you're talking about in the subject.
Please choose a more telling subject next time.

There is no easy fix for this, due to the way it works on windows.
There are static dummy-document that are then in turn copied to the
location where you invoke the contextmenu→New function.

So LO/OOo could only fix it by recognizing on open that it is a
"shellnew" document and then replace it by itself using a document
based on the default template.
This is no problem if only OOo/LO is used to modify the documents, but
of course when other applications are used to edit the documents,
they'd ignore that property and then you risk that LO/OOo will throw
away the existing changes when not checking for modifications, etc.

Well, without a proposed fix....
